Field Analytics on MapView

This feature will allow the customer/dealer/salesperson to view yield information on screen without having to print yield maps and summaries. This feature will give you (by crop) Yield by Field, Yield by Hybrid, Yield by Soil Type, Total Bushels, Avg Moisture and Average Seed Rate.   This yield information changes, depending on what fields you have selected. So if you have 5 out of 25 fields selected, all of the averages are for the 5 you have selected.

Trusted Advisors and the Sharing Feature

Trusted Advisors and the Sharing Feature

Many of us have a go-to person for agronomic advice. A “Trusted Advisor,” if you will. It may be our local seed dealer. It may be an agronomist.  When we call them for advice, we generally have to give them a story about the where, what, when and how of our question. FARMserver recognizes the value of Trusted Advisors and have created a feature in the website just for that.

The Sharing Feature in FARMserver is designed to efficiently flow information between you and that Trusted Advisor.  As an account owner, you have the opportunity to grant a Trusted Advisor access […]

Breaking Down Seed Selection

Breaking Down Seed Selection

Planning for a new crop includes choosing the correct corn hybrid and soybean variety for your fields. To help with this process, Beck’s worked with the Product Team to develop the Seed Selection Tool as part of the FARMserver software.

The Seed Selection Tool is not an ordinary product placement tool. Using the heavily researched NRCS soil database, the Seed Selection Tool starts by narrowing down the broad range of products to determine the right hybrid for your soil type. From the clay knobs to hot sand, the Seed Selection Tool knows what product will work best in your […]

The Why, How, and What of Farm Data Upload

The Why, How, and What of Farm Data Upload

Early this summer, as we were receiving excessive rainfall in Ohio, I attended a field day at our local equipment dealership. As we gathered in the building, trying to avoid the steady rain outside, one of the equipment salesmen joked with the group and said “You know why we’re getting all this rain? It’s because of all the data that we are putting into the ‘cloud’. There’s just no room for water anymore, so it’s all falling out as rain!” While his joke certainly drew some chuckles from the group, the explanation is a far cry from how data storage […]
